Atlanta, GA – Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund Chairman Jenny Beth Martin today released the following statement, announcing the endorsement of Mike Collins for the GOP nomination for the United States Senate from Georgia:

“Georgia needs a fighter in the Senate, and Mike Collins is that fighter.

“Every Georgian remembers Laken Riley, the 22-year-old nursing student who went out for a run and was murdered by an illegal alien. Her murderer had been arrested and released more than once, but was never deported. Georgians were heartbroken and outraged. Her murder was the direct result of a government that refused to enforce its own immigration laws.

“In Congress, Mike Collins took the lead when he wrote the Laken Riley Act, which requires the federal government to detain noncitizens arrested for or charged with theft, assault on a law enforcement officer, or crimes that cause serious bodily injury or death. President Trump signed it as the first bill of his second term, just nine days after taking the oath of office. Mike’s leadership reestablished the rule of law as the guiding principle of America’s immigration enforcement.

“Mike’s record is America First. He will fight to cut taxes, rein in spending, and get our national debt under control so working families can afford groceries and gas again. He will work to root out the waste and fraud in Washington, and he will put Georgia’s interests first in the U.S. Senate.

“He shares the values that have guided our movement from the beginning: personal freedom, economic freedom, and a debt-free future.

“On behalf of Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund, I am proud to endorse Mike Collins for the GOP nomination for the U.S. Senate from Georgia, and I urge every Georgia voter to make a plan to vote for Mike Collins in the June 16, 2026, GOP primary runoff.”
